What I LOVE about Mt. Nebo, Arkansas

Many of you know that George and I spent last week in gorgeous ARKANSAS... We have a special place which we visit one or more times each year---and since we keep going back, we feel as if this little cabin on top of the mountain (Mt. Nebo State Park, Arkansas) is all OURS.... And it IS ---for a week!!!!!

This little romantic one-bedroom cabin is PERFECT for us. We have a great view from our cabin of the Arkansas Valley below. AND--we can sit on our back porch/patio and see the sunset... Today I will share with you just a few of the things I love about being at Mt. Nebo. Above is a picture of our wonderful cabin in a perfect location. Be sure and click on the pictures in order to see them larger.

George took this picture of me drinking some coffee, sitting by the fireplace, and working on Facebook of course!!!!!! ha..... Can you tell that LIFE is GOOD!!!!

Of course I took some birdseed with me (why not??? ha)---so that I could feed the little birds at Mt. Nebo... As much as I love the birds, I think they were waiting on me to visit.. Besides the Cardinals, I saw lots of Nuthatches and Juncos---and also many other small songbirds. They bring me SO much JOY.

The state park is filled with hiking trails and many different types of wildlife... The deer roam freely --and don't seem to be too afraid of us humans. We enjoy watching them near our cabin --especially early in the mornings and late in the afternoons.

There is a Sunrise Point and a Sunset Point on top of the mountain at Mt. Nebo. During this time of year, we can see the sunset from our back porch --but we do have to drive a short distance to Sunrise Point in order to see the sunrise. This picture above of one of the SUNRISES was taken on our last morning in Arkansas. There had been storms around ---which made for some beautiful sunrise pictures. I don't like getting up at 6 a.m. most mornings--but I was so glad to see this gorgeous sunrise. It just took my breath away. How can anyone see something like this and not know that there is a God?

Finally, here is a picture of the two lovers ---sitting on our back patio at Mt. Nebo... Isn't that a beautiful view behind us? Can you see why we LOVE this place so much????

I have many more Mt. Nebo pictures to share --but that will have to be on another blog or two... Hope you had a great week also... I cannot thank you enough for continuing to come to my blog even when I am not commenting on yours. That means so much to me. I have alot of catching up to do --- so bear with me as I try to 'get back in the groove'....

Love it! Utah has a Mt. Nebo on the side of the town of Nephi, Utah. I made time from driving up to Salt Lake once to stop and drive to the top. Nothing like a mountain to realize what life is all about and who is in control.

What a wonderful trip and such a beautiful place! Your photos are terrific, Betsy! I'm just so glad you didn't get caught in any of the horrendous storms throughout that area and that you're both home safe and sound! Have a great day!

Hi Betsy,What a gorgeous spot, I certainly understand why you keep going back there. So peaceful - I wouldn't mind living like that year round :) The sunset picture is lovely. What a fantastic view.You DID look quite relaxed there with your coffee and browsing [hehe]. Have a fantastic Day! It's evening here, and chilling after dinner.

We've been through there but never stayed in the cabins. It would make a perfect place to stay a few nights on our way to Kansas City next trip. The cabin looks so nice and cozy and the view must be just awesome!Have a great trip!

Welcome back!! Wow, you are so lucky. What a gorgeous place to wake up at everyday. Absolutely love it....the deer, the birds.....this would be a great escape. I have one of those trips planned in April. Glad you made it back safe and thank you for sharing your journey.

Yes Betsy, you and George have a very good and beautiful life, and we are so envious. In fact i feel like asking to live with you for a month to always tag on your trips, hiking, waterfalling, etc. Oh how i love to do just like what you're doing! It's really a beautiful life! And i always love to see your uniform!

Hi Betsy,You have a beautiful blog and I will come and visit whether you visit mine or not! LOL! I know you'll get around when you can. In the meantime, I just love your pictures. You and George visit so many beautiful spots and look like you're having so much fun.

Thanks for taking us along on your vacations. BTW - pass the coffee. LOL!

I remember when you posted pics from this place on a previous post - - but these are even prettier. It seems like you had rain on one of the trips? That place is sooooooo gorgeous!!! The shot with the deer could sell lots of postcards. You seem to be sure-handed with your coffee near your laptop. One of our daughters lost a laptop keyboard with a drink. She said, "But it was just a few drops." However, it is relaxing to get to eat and drink while on the computer!

HI Betsy, thanks for sharing your Mt Nebo trip. The sunrise shot is beautiful. What a great idea to take some birdseed with you, I love the pretty cardinal and the deer. The cabin and fireplace look wonderful. I would love to stay there. Wonderful photos. Glad you made it home safely with the storms around. Take care and have a great week!

Such a stunning place you have for the week. Certainly see why you love it. So peaceful and beautiful with all the nature abounding around you. So thankful you two escaped the horror of the tornadoes on the way home.

Mt. Nebo is such a pretty place Betsy. I can see why you and George love to go there so often--and you should! It has everything you love ..nature, views, sunrises and sunsets, birds and wildlife, and internet connection too!
